Default 30 x 70 pulley upgrade. Wow

If you haven't done the 30 tooth front pulley and the 70 rear do it. It's a might and day difference and makes the bike much more rideable (in my opinion).

I have a 14 Breakout and just finished that upgrade this weekend. The bike actually accelerates in 6th now. I wish I did this upgrade before messing with my cans. Bag fir the buck I don't think there is a better upgrade than the pulley upgrade.

If you're on the fence it's a no brainer!

Cheers,
CK

I did the work myself so it was just parts.
Front and rear pulleys, gaskets, oil and the big nut tool about $450 when all was said and done. New wheels, now that is a different story LOL.

There are a lot of good resources here on how to do it. The biggest problem I had was removing the clutch basket and reinstalling it. I had to use a puller on it, it would not slide off like it's supposed to. For what it's worth, a Milwaukee impact gun tears that big nut right off w/o breaking a sweat.

I rode into work this morning grinning. No need to downshift to pass in 6th. My speedo is way off, so I need to re-do that when I get a chance but I'm not too concerned.

IF you have a FP3 the speedo can be recalibrated easily... it has a calibration module in it

What did it bring you cruising rpm up to though? My 16 Heritage is buzzy at 3400rpms/85mph already. AND it only get 30mpg at interstate speeds. I bet it gets through the gears quicker though ��
